I definitely don't support Mugabe, in fact, I think he should be shot in the foot, then strung up by the balls and tarred and feathered before being set alight, roasted, and then eaten by rabid pitbulls.
But sanctions won't get rid of him. Zimbabwe (the people) is already suffering from food shortages - blocking trade will only make the economy worse and so the people will keep suffering while Mugabe stays fat on expensive, imported food.
So yeah, I support the UN's decision. They need to find another way to sort this out. Sanctions only work on leaders who actually care about the welfare of their people.
